Some food experts are calling on the territorial and federal governments to take action against the rising cost of food in the North.
The cost of living is higher in Northern Canada, and food prices are especially vexing in some of the North's more remote communities.
The federal government has a program, known as Nutrition North Canada, designed to make healthy food more available to people living in remote places.
FSC comment:
The throne speech would have been a nice time to announce something to address this ongoing situation.
